We used to be able to change any international ticket without a change fee, so long as the new fare was atleast a dollar higher. New ticket didn't have to be same itinerary.

Any status could do this.
A decent international F product... it was never great or excellent, but still better than the current GlobalFake.

An actual wine list with wines they actually had on board and that you'd care to drink. LOT can do it. This can't be hard!!

1. Channel 9

2. Premier Exec status that actually made you feel there was a little value to it.

3. Empowered club employees that generally made it right during irrops.

Ahhh yes. And of course the added benefit of being laugh at for actually thinking that wines on the list might actually be on any plane you are on

Used to love that Malbec
